Tastes like popcorn, that’s for sure! I don’t notice any caramel though. And the taste of the tea comes through too. I don’t see myself buying it, but I enjoyed the sample from Cameron B. I’ve had a different caramel corn tea that I prefer, but I don’t remember where it’s from…

drank Ice Cream Cake by DAVIDsTEA

I really don’t know what I think of this tea. It’s sweet, and you can tell what it’s going for, but you can also taste some underlying chemicals. A little cakey and chocolatey. With all the dessert teas out there, I wouldn’t pick this one again. I’ll add some milk next time and see if that helps. Again, not bad; there are just so many better choices.

One of my favorite treats with milk and sugar. Definitely tastes like chocolate mixed with something a little tangy and red. If I tasted it without knowing, I don’t think I’d call it red velvet, maybe more like a chocolate berry? I really enjoy this though.

drank Glazed Lemon Loaf by Tazo

I have absolutely blazed through my two boxes of this. Sadly no stores near me carry the Tazo dessert flavors, so when I’m on vacation, I have to check the local Target! It’s so sweet and lemony. It really is exactly as advertised. I use two bags for my ~18 oz mug and add lots of sugar.

I really like this tea. The pear flavor is so clear. It’s light and refreshing. I wish I had more than just a sample of this one.

A nice refreshing cup from Cameron B. Not much to say about this one. Pleasantly light and fruity. I enjoyed it, but it was unremarkable enough that I wouldn’t spend money on more.

drank Banana Bake by T2

The taste is definitely banana. It was pleasant up until the last little bit, which was bitter. If I were to pick a banana tea to drink, I’d likely pick one with a green base instead. Definitely fun though.

And I forgot to mention again that this is from my swap with Cameron B!

drank Honeybush Pumpkin Chai by Adagio

Surprisingly fruity. The spices are definitely more muted than I’d expect. It’s not bad, it’s just not at all what I was looking for.

Finally finishing last year’s Christmas sampler from David’s. The teas came in the cutest wreath packaging. When I first tried this, I liked it, but this time, I felt pretty unimpressed. I added milk, sugar, and vanilla to make it tastier. I really enjoyed the Teavana Earl Grey Cream, and I wish I liked this as much. It’s pretty bland. Maybe it’s just how I prepared it this time though.

I like the idea of Earl Grey Cream teas, but I’ve never found one that I’ve liked… :P

AJRimmer

Definitely let me know if you find a winner. I’m yet to find an adequate replacement!

It looks like you can still get Teavana’s Earl Grey Crème in sachets. So if that’s your favorite, you might look around for them. It looks like Walmart carries them.

Ohhh that’s good to know, thanks! To be honest, I’m a little worried I won’t like it as much as I did originally. I hate when I retry a tea I’d loved and it turns out to not be how I remembered. Hopefully this will be different!

Steepster is glitching for me, so I can only access it using my laptop, which I don’t use very often, so I unfortunately will not be as active on here as I prefer to be.

I’m an event planner who always has two mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, and listening to podcasts.

Favorite flavors: Almond, strawberry, nutty, dessert flavors, melon, mint, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
